Description

Alice in Wonderland (Nonpareil Feature Film Corp., 1915).
Photo (7.5" X 9.25").
Viola Savoy is the title character in this very early silent
adaptation of Lewis Carroll's endearing tale of a young girl's
adventures "Through the Looking Glass." Offered here is a
delightful vintage gelatin silver, double weight, matte image of
Alice, March Hare, Dormouse and Mad Hatter assembled in the forest
for a "mad" tea party. This extremely rare photo is extra special,
in that the Tea Party scene was completely cut from the final
version of the 52- minute film! This photo is from a collection
that had other photos from 1913 and were from productions made in
the Ft. Lee, New Jersey area. This is noted on the back and
suggests it was taken in the 1913 to 1914 range when the film was
in production. The borders have been trimmed, there is writing on
the verso, and the corners are rounded, but the photo is otherwise
in excellent condition. Fine+.
